A fire burnt away all of Mandy and Liam's love. After five years, she returned in glory to reclaim justice for herself. Little did she know, the child she brought back had more courage than she did. The child stood innocently before Liam and said, "Uncle, can you help me with something? Please, Uncle." Liam felt...
When Mandy got her pregnancy test, she was extremely happy.
She's pregnant!
Pregnant with Liam's child!
After three years of marriage, she was finally pregnant with his child, something that had been very challenging for Mandy.
She happily walked out with the pregnancy test in her hand, eager to share this good news with Liam, only to see a familiar figure passing by the intersection.
Choco?
Liam's first love! She's back!
Mandy quickly approached, realizing that Liam, who should have been at the office, was with her, carefully escorting her. Her belly had also grown over the years.
"Liam, I'm fine, you don't need to worry, the baby is very healthy."
"It's still better to check a bit more, to be sure. After all, the child in your womb is the eldest grandson of the Anderson family. Can't afford any negligence."
Choco smiled brightly, Liam gentle as water. This scene made Mandy extremely distressed.
"What are you guys doing?"
Mandy squeezed the pregnancy test tightly in her hand, her nails piercing through the paper into her palm, but it couldn't compare to the pain in her heart.
She had been cold-blooded, enduring years of medication and doctor visits, nearly losing her life several times. She never expected that on the day she found out she was pregnant, she would see Choco pregnant with Liam's child.
"Why are you here?"
Liam suddenly frowned, his gentle gaze turning into a cold, sharp one, as if the surrounding temperature had dropped several degrees.
Seeing his change in attitude, Mandy couldn't help but step forward to question.
"Why am I here? Liam, I'm your wife, and now you're here for a prenatal checkup with your misstress with no shame asking why I'm here?"
Her questioning drew attention from those around them.
Choco suddenly burst into tears.
"Liam, I'm sorry. It's my fault involving you. If I hadn't come back, hadn't told you about the child's existence, or had been heartless enough to get rid of this child, maybe Mandy wouldn't have misunderstood. I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
After speaking, Choco turned and ran away.
"Susan, follow Ms. Choco. Be careful with her belly. If anything happens to the baby in her womb, I'll hold you responsible."
Liam's voice carried a hint of anger, and his assistant Susan quickly followed.
Mandy felt breathless. Liam had never cared for her like this before.
"Liam, you bastard!"
She raised her hand to slap Liam hard, but unexpectedly, he blocked it halfway, his strength causing Mandy to wince.
"Mandy, three years ago when you schemed your way into my bed, making it impossible for me not to marry you, you should know that in this marriage, I can't give you the affection you want. I warn you, Choco's child in her womb is extremely precious, the flesh and blood of our Anderson family. If you dare to do anything inappropriate with her, don't blame me for not considering the feelings of husband and wife."
After speaking, Liam pushed her hand away.
Mandy couldn't stand steady, swaying dangerously close to falling, she hurriedly leaned against the nearby wall, the pregnancy test falling right in front of Liam.
"Are you pregnant?"
A hint of surprise flickered in Liam's eyes.
Mandy laughed again, tears falling.
"Do you notice, Liam? Three years ago, I explained to you, but you didn't believe me. Even if I broke my heart for you, you turned a blind eye. Now your first love has given birth to your child. Liam, I love you, but I also have pride and dignity! I will destroy this child, and we should end it, too."
Mandy's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, yet she decisively turned and walked away.
Liam's gaze became heavy.
He rushed up to Mandy, lifting her up and swiftly leaving the hospital.
"Mandy, who do you think you are? Forcing me to marry you, now saying you don't need this child, do you really think I'm easy to deal with, playing around in the palm of your hand? Let me tell you, whether to keep or destroy this child is my decision!"
"Liam, let me go! This is my child, nothing to do with you!"
Mandy angrily struggled continuously, but couldn't escape his grasp.
"Your child? Without me, can you conceive immaculately? Mandy, it's best you don't mess with me right now!"
Liam's beautiful phoenix eyes suddenly narrowed, his fierce breath making it hard to breathe, instantly enveloping the surroundings, making people feel extremely pressured.
At this moment, his phone suddenly rang.
For the sake of convenience, Liam let go of Mandy, but still held onto her with one hand, extremely domineering.
Mandy couldn't bear the pain.
Every time she had an illusion, she felt Liam paid some attention to her, like now.
"What did you say? Choco wants to commit suicide? Monitor her. I'm coming!"
Liam suddenly became tense, and Mandy's slightly warm heart grew cold.
"Mandy, go home first. I'll talk to you about this later."
Liam hung up, his brows furrowed with worry and anxiety, emotions that weren't meant for his wife.
Mandy coldly pushed him away.
"You go. She's obviously more important to you."
But her heart was bleeding.
Liam wanted to say something, but in the end, said nothing, just hailed a taxi, ushered her into it, and fled.
Mandy couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
This man always remembered someone else, even in his heart. What significance did their marriage have to continue like this?
After returning home, Mandy's maid greeted her, but she didn't seem to hear anything.
She looked at the black-and-white bedroom, completely devoid of her presence, suddenly feeling like a clown. Her marriage felt like a play, and now it really should end.
Mandy waited for Liam all night.
He didn't even make a phone call. His indifference felt like a needle stabbing into her heart.
"Sweetheart, I'm sorry, Mom can't give you a complete family. But, in the future, Mom will love you twice as much."
Tears filled Mandy's face as she signed the divorce papers she had typed all night.
Every stroke of the pen felt like it cut into her heart, causing blood to gush out.
After signing, Mandy took off the wedding ring Liam had given her, placing it on the divorce papers.
She used to cherish this ring as a treasure. Over the three years, it had left marks on her finger, and now, taking it off, the marks remained, just like her love for Liam, leaving a mark that couldn't be erased, no matter what.
Mandy felt utterly useless, afraid she would relent again. Resolutely, she picked up her luggage and left the house.
"Luna Mandy, Ms. Choco is unwell, Alpha Liam is with her. Alpha Liam instructed us to take Luna Mandy abroad. We'll leave now."
As soon as Mandy stepped outside, she saw Liam's bodyguards blocking her way, their words enraging her.
"On what grounds are you sending me abroad? I'm not going!"
"Sorry, Luna Mandy, Alpha Liam said this is not up to you to decide!"
The bodyguard spoke, then quickly approached, delivering a blow that made Mandy faint, pulling her into the car.
She was dragged to a warehouse, where her clothes were stripped off, and a man lay next to her, touching her lecherously. Cameras clicked nearby, capturing every awkward pose.
"Ms. Choco, everything is done."
After the man finished taking pictures, he called Choco.
Choco laughed coldly. "Good, I'll post these pictures online shortly. I don't believe Liam still needs a woman who betrays him as his wife, after dealing with this cleanly."
"Yes, ma'am."
After the man hung up, he poured gasoline around the warehouse, then lit a match.
The flames rose, the air temperature became stifling, making it hard to breathe.
Mandy woke up in a daze, surrounded by a sea of fire. The thick smoke made her gag, unable to open her mouth, while the flames inadvertently engulfed her.
"Help! Help!"
Mandy didn't care that she was naked. She grabbed a stick nearby and pounded on the warehouse door, hearing the guards' voices outside.
